Summary of the contracting process

NHS England procured health services for its Diabetic Eye Screening Test and Training (DES TAT) system, which supports the NHS Diabetic Eye Screening Programme. The system is used to train staff to detect diabetic retinopathy accurately and reduce variation in diagnosis, helping prevent blindness in people with diabetes. The work was a discovery project to assess whether DES TAT meets current digital standards, including review of user needs, system functionality and infrastructure. It also considered improvements, cost-efficiency, a minimum viable product and possible integration with PERFORMS TAT and PERFECT TAT into a modular system, while retaining essential features and considering outdated components for decommissioning. The named delivery location is the United Kingdom.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. NHS England used a direct award, citing an extension or partial replacement of additional or repeat services under the Procurement Act 2023. The award was dated 5 October 2025. The contract was signed on 30 September 2025 and ran from 1 October 2025 to 31 October 2026. Its recorded contract value was £236,547.20 including VAT; the award value was £197,122.67 excluding VAT. The process had one lot. The contract is recorded as terminated, with the stated reason that it was completed; implementation ended on 31 October 2026. Evaluation criteria and supplier eligibility requirements are not stated in the available procurement details.

This requirement is relevant to suppliers with health-service and digital discovery capability, particularly experience reviewing clinical training systems and the infrastructure that supports them. A credible provider would need to understand diabetic eye screening and the training needed for accurate diabetic retinopathy detection, alongside the ability to assess user needs, functionality, digital standards and opportunities for cost-efficiency. The work also points to skills in defining a minimum viable product, modernising an existing system without losing essential functions, and assessing whether separate training tools can be brought together in a modular solution. Familiarity with NHS screening and quality-assurance settings would be useful in meeting the clinical purpose. Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust was selected through a direct award for an extension or partial replacement of repeat services, indicating the commercial route used for this requirement.
